Hi,
teeth have a protective layer called enamel with age the enamel wears off and become thin which causes to become teeth sensitive to cold and hot. You need to get a professional check up done to know the exact cause and solution of your problem.

There has been recent significant evidence that cranberry juice actually helps in the fight against tooth decay. A compound in the fruit blocks bacteria from sticking to the teeth, which inhibits the growth and build up of plaque.

Brushing technique is very important aspect for the cleaning of teeth.
6- Cavity
Having cavities is not a serious problem at all.
Cavities which are not too deep can be excavated and be restored by a dental cement.
Cavities that are very deep can be cured by root canal treatment followed by crown ( cap ).
For better prevention of cavities ,
1- Follow proper brushing technique.
2- Brush twice a day
3-clean your teeth immediately every time after you eat food or liquids.
- Do forcefull gargles after every meal.
4- Undergo scaling ( cleaning of teeth) at the interval of every 5-6 months.
5- Visit dentist for regular oral cavity check up every 4 months for the early diagnosis and prevention of dental diseases.
